Let the Right One In

Finally watched this Scandinavian vampire flick the other day, and I really enjoyed it. Definitely sort of an art-house style move in terms of cinematography and lingering scenes of bleak, dark, snow-covered Scandinavian winter landscapes. But still, vampire movie! The film is sort of a love story between a twelve-year old outcast boy and a seemingly twelve-year old girl who moves into his apartment complex. The movie makes vampires totally scary–not like the neutered silly Edward Cullen vampire of Twilight fame. Also, supernatural kids are always creepy.

Anyhow, forbidden love y’all. They’re making an english-language version for release in 2010, but I’d just rent the original. Because it is awesome.
